01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Lily's Pretty Nails shows solid listing control with a claimed status, phone, and website link, but overall health sits 4.4/10. The most impactful findings include the absence of a logo and only a basic description. Strengths include clear contact detail and open-for-business status, while opportunities focus on adding a logo and refining the listing description.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Open statusYour listing shows the business as trading, so customers see accurate availability and Google treats the listing as live.
  • ✓
    ClaimedYour listing is claimed, so you control what it says, you can reply to reviews, and edits suggested by the public come to you first.
  • ✓
    NameYour business name is showing on the listing, so a customer searching for you by name finds you, and everything else on the listing hangs off it.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Description lengthYour description is far shorter than what most businesses here have written, which means a customer comparing listings gets a line from you and three paragraphs from the business beside you.
  • 2
    LogoYour listing has no logo, so in a list of local results yours is the one with a blank space where every competitor has a mark.
  • 3
    Category fitYour category set covers less of this market than half the field, so there are jobs being searched for near you that your listing is not eligible to appear in.

Your reviews

Lily's Pretty Nails shows healthy Google reviews with a solid star rating in the top 10% and rising engagement. The overall health score is 6.5 out of 10, indicating above average performance. The strongest finding is the excellent star rating; a key opportunity lies in growing total reviews and maintaining a responsive approach to reviews.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Star ratingYour rating is among the highest in this market and it does its own selling - a customer sees it before they read anything else.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Review countYour review count sits well below what buyers here are used to seeing, which means a customer comparing options side by side reads you as the less proven choice.
  • 2
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together sit behind half the businesses here, so a customer weighing three listings has slightly less reason to trust yours.
  • 3
    Response rateYou answer more of your reviews than the middle of this market, so a customer scrolling your page mostly finds you there.

Lily is amazing! She gave me the most stunning mauve gel nails—perfectly shaped, flawless finish, and long-lasting. Her attention to detail and creativity are unmatched. Also, a great person to have a convo with. Highly recommend!

Where you show up on the map

Lily's Pretty Nails shows below-average health in Google Maps with a 3.6/10 overall. This indicates limited visibility across searches, but there are clear opportunities to improve. Top findings include a solid presence for core local terms such as nail salon in riccarton (rank 4) and nail salon in fendalton (rank 5), suggesting focus areas for growth in the Riccarton and nearby suburbs.

Strengths

Your first one is close. Sort an opportunity below and it moves up here.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across fewer of the surrounding suburbs than half the businesses here, so someone two suburbs over searching for your service is shown your competitors and never sees your name.
  • 2
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches less often than half your suburb, so on a search from nearby you sit below businesses a customer would otherwise treat as equal.

Where customers find you

Lily's Pretty Nails shows low overall health for citations and social presence, with key strengths in Facebook recognition and a Fresha listing. The strongest asset is the very high trust Facebook profile, which supports credibility, while the Fresha directory presence helps visibility beyond the main profile. Opportunities include TikTok and Yellow listings to broaden reach.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Having a Facebook page at allWe found your Facebook Profile page, and the trail is strong enough that nobody would question it is yours - it is linked from something you own, or it dominates a search for your name.
  • ✓
    Infobel ListingWe can see your Infobel Listing listing (https://infobel.com/lily_s_pretty_nails) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe could not find an active Instagram Profile profile for your business, so a customer who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 3
    Yellow ProfileWe could not find an active Yellow Profile listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    A phone numberA phone number shows on your page, so the person who found you on Facebook before they found your website can ring straight from it.
  • ✓
    An email addressCustomers can see an email address on the page, which gives the one who wants a quote in writing a route that does not depend on anyone picking up the phone.
  • ✓
    A street addressA street address sits in your page details, so someone deciding between you and a business two suburbs over can see which of you is closer.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    A page address you choseYour page address is one Facebook generated rather than one you chose - your business name with a long number bolted on, or just the number.
  • 2
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than follow half the pages here.
  • 3
    Where your page link pointsThe link on your page sends people to another feed or a links page rather than to a site of your own, so someone chasing a price ends up one more tap from the answer and scrolls until the errand is forgotten.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Lily's Pretty Nails' opening hours align well with several high-demand windows in Riccarton, notably Tuesday 10-11am and midweek afternoons (Wednesday 3pm, Thursday 4-5pm). However the studio is closed across key Saturday lunchtime and early-afternoon peaks (midday-3pm) and Thursday 6pm, representing 32 missed popular hours. No low-demand open hours were identified; extending selective weekend or Thursday evening slots could capture more bookings.
